    Personally, I dislike Harris because she’s “tough on crime” and a former DA. As someone who’s supported Sanders in the past, I’ve got no problem with direct politicians that don’t small talk well. I don’t know if you’ve ever spoken with Sanders but he has no tolerance for chit chat and isn’t particularly charismatic himself.

      Sanders has old professor charisma. He’s passionate and articulate about the issues that matter to him.

      But as he himself notes, and you point out, he’s not quite a ‘people person’, not one for small talk.

      Harris has less charisma than Hillary Clinton. She was a poor choice. And her establishment, prosecutorial background doesn’t help her with the left-leaning crowd.
